كبلدة عاصمة
According to one version of history, Chennapattanam, now called Chennai (Madras), was named after Damarla Chennapa Nayakadu, Nayaka of Kalahasti and Vandavasi, and father of Raja Venkatappa Nayaka, from whom the English acquired the town in 1639. Chennapa Nayakadu granted the British permission to build a factory and warehouse for their trading enterprises, as the region at the time centered around a fishing village known as "Madraspatnam".
